What do you think about this contest?

I found this contest on Walmart.com as I was getting ready to fill out the form they ask for an electronic sign. in which you have to give the last four digits of your SS number. What????????? I was thinking this is too much information to enter the contest and then I was thinking but if I join I would have better odds because a lot of people would not supply that. What do you think? Would you give out this information for a chance to win a vacation?

No way. The odds of identify theft are much greater than winning any contest.

Same thought here, too. It's not worth it.

I just read the rules and by entering you are agreeing to get marketing calls, emails and letters. To me no contest is worth giving out my personal information over. Plus they will share your information with others.

By completing this form and providing your electronic signature you are agreeing to abide by the Official Rules for this sweepstakes, you are certifying that you are over the age of eighteen (18) years old and you are consenting to receive marketing mail, email, text messages and/or telephone calls, including, but not limited to, prerecorded messages and calls from automated outbound dialing vehicles, to any telephone number listed on this form from, or for, CPI Corp and PictureMe Portrait Studios® regardless of any internal, state or federal Do NotCall lists, and notwithstanding Sponsor’s privacy policy, to share your contact information with our affiliates and business partners. Standard text message fees apply.

Absolutely no way. I notice that there is only one grand prize winner for a prize worth $5,000 and this will be taxable.

I also read the following at the bottom of the entry:

"By completing this form and providing your electronic signature you are agreeing to abide by the Official Rules for this sweepstakes, you are certifying that you are over the age of eighteen (18) years old and you are consenting to receive marketing mail, email, text messages and/or telephone calls, including, but not limited to, prerecorded messages and calls from automated outbound dialing vehicles, to any telephone number listed on this form from, or for, CPI Corp and PictureMe Portrait Studios® regardless of any internal, state or federal Do NotCall lists, and notwithstanding Sponsor’s privacy policy, to share your contact information with our affiliates and business partners.

And it leave you wide open for phone calls and text messages, not only from this company but whoever they sell their listing to.
